And I suppose @Scott Bender 's signalk-simple-notifications plugin is also obsolete?
I would not say obsolete, just a different way of triggering notifications.
Any advantages or disadvantages of using your plugin vs. editing meta data?
You can’t do as much with my plugin. It was meant to be a little less complicated to configure for simple stuff.
I could see a use case for a plugin that does more than the meta/zones function. But it's not "simple" anymore: Trigger notifications based on combined events. Conditions of two or more paths need to be met in order to trigger and alarm on a path. For example: Water depth. Trigger an alarm when depth < 3m && SOG > 3 kn.
Or is there something like that already?
I think the only way to do that currently is with node-red
